Cultivating Disciples to Breakthrough-Novel

Chapter 1147  Unfortunate Demonic Cultivators

Squeak!

Following Xuan Hao leaving the Iron Sky Kingdom together with Yi Min, the rabbit demon beast happily waltzed inside the main palace and made itself at home inside a large empty guest room before starting to eat a few of the spirit stones from the interspatial ring Xuan Hao had given it before closing its eyes to focus on absorbing the pure qi inside the spirit stones.

Rustle~

Not too long after the rabbit demon beast had settled down like this, the squirrel cautiously appeared at the entrance to the guest room.

Squeak…

Scanning over the mostly empty guest room before spotting the rabbit demon beast, the squirrel let out a somewhat nervous squeaking sound before finding a place inside the guest room to settle down and cultivate on its own. Not daring to approach the rabbit demon beast and ask it for some of the spirit stones.

Considering the training it had gone through since meeting the rabbit demon beast, it had learnt that it was wise to never ask it for any of its spirit stones and instead focus its attention on cultivating by itself. Even if it was slower to cultivate without the assistance of spirit stones, it felt happy as long as it could cultivate without being beaten up by the rabbit demon beast…

At this point in time, although the squirrel had grown far stronger compared to before it had accidentally stumbled inside the Sea of Mist and could in a sense be considered a powerful demon beast in a kingdom like the Iron Sky Kingdom, it had no clue about this and still thought of itself as weak, a side effect of it only having interacted with beings far more powerful than itself after starting its cultivation journey.

Whoosh~

As the squirrel and rabbit demon beast settled down and both focused on cultivating inside the main palace, the muscular man at the Domain Lord Realm and most trusted subordinate of Yi Min could not help escaping from the main palace after personally having escorted the rabbit demon beast into the main palace just a short time earlier.

Although he had been informed about the rabbit demon beast being a powerful demon beast in the Soul Ascension Realm, he had not believed it at first after seeing the cute looking rabbit the size of his hand and accidentally used his divine sense to scan the rabbit demon beast. Resulting in the rabbit demon beast using its terrifying divine sense to shatter part of his divine sense as punishment.

Even though it didn't permanently damage him, he would at least need a few weeks to recover.

If not for the fact that the rabbit demon beast was supposed to guard the Iron Sky Kingdom during his master's absence, he didn't doubt that it would have outright killed him earlier!

I have to ensure that the main palace is isolated until master returns with the senior… Thinking this to himself as he escaped from the main palace with a terrified expression on his face, the muscular Domain Lord Realm Expert quickly began making arraignments for the staff in charge of maintaining the main palace to leave.

Given that Yi Min had informed him about not saying anything about her absence unless necessary, he decided to use the excuse of her going into seclusion to try and improve her blacksmithing as an excuse.

Considering the fact that she had spent two weeks locked up in the forge and the fact that Yi Min would normally close off the main palace to anyone when she was about to undergo an important breakthrough or trying to further her understanding in blacksmithing of formations, there wasn't anyone who doubted this.

As a result of this, it didn't take long before the rabbit demon beast and the squirrel were the only living beings left inside the main palace… And to the relief of the muscular Domain Lord, they didn't look like they had any plans of leaving the main palace to explore the Iron Sky Kingdom during their stay. Soon causing the somewhat chaotic situation caused by the staff and guards being moved out of the main palace to return to normal again. None of them having the slightest idea that Yi Min had already left the kingdom and the current protect had turned into a small cute looking rabbit.

…

At the same time that the rabbit demon beast and squirrel got used to their new home for the next few months, Xuan Hao and Yi Min crossed the border of the Sky Empire in the direction of the Frozen Wasteland.

According to the information Pei Yang had given him, the Grandmaster Realm Blacksmith was not located anywhere in the core region of the continent where he had expected him to be. Instead, he was located at a small kingdom at the very edge of the continent, one of the few places where the continent met the endless ocean that had managed to establish a kingdom according to Pei Yang. Apparently, the coast next to the endless ocean was not that great to live next to as countless thunderstorms and waves would sweep dozens if not hundreds of kilometers inland every few years. Destroying anything in their path.

The only way a kingdom could survive under such circumstances would be if a Domain Lord Realm Expert or stronger established a formation to protect the kingdom… And given the fact that the qi was already close to nonexistent, it was incredibly rare for any kingdom to exist in such an environment. After all, if given the chance, no Domain Lord Realm Expert would willingly stay at the edges of continent.

All of this is not mentioning the fact that a powerful demon beast from the ocean might appear at any given moment and destroy the said kingdom, with most of these demon beasts at least having reached the Domain Lord Realm, some even reaching the Earth Immortal Realm.

With all of this in mind, the only people who would settle down and establish and kingdom under such circumstances would be people hiding away from the larger powers in the core region.

Even though Pei Yang hadn't explicitly said that his blacksmith friend was one such person, it was easy to guess after finding out that he was located in a kingdom at the edge of the continent.

The only thing that puzzled Xuan Hao was what this friend of Pei Yang had done for him to hide away at the edge of the continent. Considering what Pei Yang had gone through, he had a feeling that it might also be related to the fact that he wanted to breakthrough to the Pseudo Saint Realm but had been stopped by the different major powers before being able to accomplish his goal.

In the end, this ended up making Xuan Hao even more curious about the thing needed to break through to the Pseudo Saint Realm. After all, he still had to reach the Pseudo Saint Realm in less than three months' time and also needed to find out what it was that the major powers were hiding regarding the breakthrough to the Pseudo Saint Realm. ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ novelenglish.net .

"Hm? Demonic cultivators?"

Lost in his own thoughts while travelling through the Frozen Wasteland together with Yi Min, Xuan Hao could not help frowning upon noticing a large number of demonic cultivators gathered a short distance away from the temporary barrier he had created between the Azure Sky Kingdom and the Frozen Wasteland in the past.

"Indeed, there are at least three in the True Demon Realm. From the looks of it, they are preparing to invade the Azure Sky Kingdom…" Hearing what Xuan Hao muttered to himself, Yi Min curiously scanned the group of demonic cultivators in the distance with her divine sense before she said this with a worried expression on her face.

Three demonic cultivators in the True Demon Realm would be more than enough to make even her feel a shiver run down her spine. After all, compared to normal cultivators in the Soul Ascension Realm, demonic cultivators in the True Demon Realm were known to be stronger when it came to combat.

In a sense, only in the True Demon Realm could a demonic cultivator be considered to have abandoned their past and turned into a full-fledged demon intent on doing anything to increase its power.

As an example, Yi Min could clearly see one of the female demonic cultivators in the True Demon Realm happily draining the life energy out of a dozen unfortunate demonic cultivators in the First and Second Demonic Transformation Realm…

"Invade the Azure Sky Kingdom? Guess I will have to deal with them and strengthen the barrier I created back then…" Muttering this to himself as he glanced towards the gathering of demonic cultivators in the distance, Xuan Hao frowned visibly before abruptly coming to a stop.

"Xuan Hao…?"

Feeling like something big was about to happen, Yi Min could not help turning to Xuan Hao as she nervously uttered his name.

"It's nothing, I just plan to pay the little gathering over there a visit before we continue our journey…"
